- an upper stiffener made of metal and extending along a beltline of the outer panel,
- wherein the upper stiffener is fixed to the inner panel,
- the outer panel has a reference point at which the outer panel is fixed to a portion of the upper stiffener so as to be relatively non-displaceable,
- the outer panel has couplings at which rest of the outer panel other than the reference point is fixed to the inner panel so as to be relatively displaceable,
- the reference point is provided at a center in a vehicle front-rear direction of the upper stiffener, and
- the couplings are arranged below the reference point, so as to be slidable in radial directions with respect to the reference point.
